In celebration of their 25th anniversary season, Fountain Hills Theater will kick off the silver season with a 25 hour show tune marathon! Beginning at 7:00pm on Friday, Sept. 9th, performers will sing show tunes continuously until 8:00pm on Saturday, Sept 10th. That’s 25 full hours. One hour for each year that Fountain Hills Theater has been producing quality theater in the north east valley.
Audiences are invited to stop by the theater during any of those hours to enjoy the music and encourage the performers. Admission is free, but donations are gladly accepted. There will be refreshments available to anyone stopping by. The event will be submitted to The Guinness Book of World Records for consideration.
Peter J. Hill, the Artistic/Managing Director of the theater said ‘Well, we were looking for something pretty spectacular to kick off this milestone season and, if nothing else, this is spectacular!’ Performers will work as relay teams singing in ½ hour increments for the full 25 hours. Hill said; ‘I hope many of our audience, supporters and friends will come out to watch and encourage this team effort – especially those hardy singers who will be taking those sessions in the wee hours of Saturday morning. I wonder if anyone will stop by and listen at say, 3:30am?! But, to set the record, we’ll be singing!’
